Pay-as-you-go service is getting more and more appealing with each passing day, and Virgin Mobile just announced the Samsung Galaxy Reverb - an Android 4.0 handset that should offer a decent amount of bang for the buck.

Specs:

4" display

1.4GHz single-core processor

768MB RAM

5MP rear shooter

122.40mm x 64.20mm x 11.40mm, 128.7g

Android 4.0

While those specs are mediocre compared to the flagship phones of today, it's hard to deny the allure of a device that goes for $249 without contract on a carrier that offers equally as affordable plans.

The Galaxy Reverb is available for pre-order now with an expected ship date of 9/19; you can get yours in by heading right here.

Finally! Samsung Galaxy Reverb™, the first Samsung Galaxy offered on Virgin Mobile USA, is available for pre-order today in preparation for its official online arrival on Sept. 19 for $249.99. Following its online debut, Galaxy Reverb will then roll out to thousands of Virgin Mobile retailers nationwide, including the new Virgin Mobile-branded stores recently launched in Chicago.

Pre-ordering for this feature-packed Android™-powered smartphone is available at Virgin Mobile USA’s website for tech-savvy consumers who want unlimited data at a great price. Virgin Mobile’s Beyond Talk™ plans pair perfectly with Galaxy Reverb and offer unlimited data and messaging, with prices starting at just $35 per month.

“We keep adding awesome new services and devices to our lineup,” said Mark Lederman, director-Virgin Mobile USA, “and with our commitment to customers to deliver products with ‘A Higher Calling,’ this new Samsung device is no exception. Samsung has always been a strong partner for Virgin Mobile; Intercept was the first Android we made available on our Beyond Talk plans, in 2010. Getting a Galaxy device now truly rounds out our offering.”

Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile) is the No. 1 mobile phone provider in the United States. Its award-winning portfolio of Galaxy devices is designed to provide users with a premium Android experience. Galaxy Reverb earns its Galaxy name through its large 4-inch WVGA screen, 5.0MP camera with LED flash and video capture, 1.3MP front-facing camera, and Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich. The 1.4GHz processor supports Bluetooth® 4.0, Wi-Fi, GPS support and 768MB RAM internal memory. Running on Sprint’s Nationwide 3G Network, Galaxy Reverb comes with GooglePlay™, for access to all the latest apps. Galaxy Reverb also uses a button arrangement that more closely resembles Samsung Galaxy S III with menu, home and back keys, and capacitive touch buttons.
